Anyhow, the Doctor basically said I most likely had both food poisoning AND the stomach flu! My goodness!! No wonder it's the worst I've ever had!! He then said I had to eat nothing but rice for the next 24 hours. Every 2 hours, I'd have to take 5 spoonfuls of rice. This was to try and create some stool. Goodness I hope it works. Because I don't wanna be back in that bathroom! The Doc also gave me some meds for the stomach pain. And until I'm better I can't eat anything spicy, no dairy, no meat.. basically just bread, rice, bananas, apple and jello! And tons of water and gatorade. Some Sprite too. What an ugly forced diet!! Yuck!

It's good that you decided to head to urgent care! Food poisoning and the stomach flu could have ended up with a bad case of dehydration if you just let them be. It's too bad about the forced diet, but if it meant quicker recovery, I'm sure the temporary sacrifice was worth it.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely worth it. I'd rather have health insurance though.
